*Note: The Board of Selectmen and Budget committee agree that concerns about school funding and the local formula should be addressed by the school board. Following submission of the Budget Committee letter, more information was provided from the RSU #4 Superintendent and Financial Officer, and the Budget Committee voted to support the proposed budget that includes a Student Resource Officer, as that budget is less than a 2% overall increase from the previous year.
